Oh say can you see the dawnís breaking on eternity

Oh say can you see all the signs of what will come to be

The world is the canvas of our soon and coming King

Shadows are made bright there, and new visions he will bring

The Lord will give you visionÝ as you walk in his light

And though we are no longer blind we must learn to use our sight

We must learn to see a-right.

Come Lord Jesus You are the one who truly sees us

Now help us see ourselves in a way that is right

So gaze on the future as you remember the past

Live in the present though it will not last

Live likeÝ itís your last day for the last dayís coming fast

The night is nearly over as time unscrollsÝ to uncover

So put away those darkened deeds and put on the armor of light

In your presence the pastures are green

In your presence we see the unseen

And on the day of your return

Weíll be surprised at what we learn

All the hidden things revealed at last

So reveal them now instead we ask

As we walk in your light

You give us insight

As we humbly bend the knee

As we learn to humbly see

With a vision borne of walking in the light

Where the light is the glow of your face shining bright

Transfigured then but transformed now

As we learnÝÝ to learn the whyís and howís

Of livingÝ in this world below

As aliens and strangers

We face manyÝ toils and dangers

If we choose to walkÝ within the shadows

Heaven knows...
